Iraq: S. Korean soldier found shot dead at base
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

A South Korean soldier was found shot dead at a military base in Iraq,
the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday, in South Korea's first reported
casualty since it joined the US-led reconstruction effort in Iraq in 2004.

The 27-year-old army first lieutenant, identified only by his family name
Oh, was found "with a gunshot wound under his jaw" in a barber shop
inside a South Korean base in the northern Iraq city of Irbil on Saturday,
the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

Oh's rifle and one empty cartridge were found nearby, the statement said.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said it had confirmed there were no signs of an
attack but it stopped short of saying whether the soldier might have killed
himself.
